Summary: This Article examines the treatment of race and racial justice in the realm of international borders within dominant liberal democratic legal discourse and theory. It argues that contemporary national borders are inherently racial due to the continuing influence of imperial inequality. The default of liberal borders is racialized inclusion and exclusion that privileges whiteness in international mobility and migration. Furthermore, it asserts that race operates as a means of enforcing liberal territorial and political borders, making international migration governance a mode of racial governance.
